Voting will be open for two days.

THIS IS NOT THE TOURNAMENT OF RIKI!!!!111!!!11!

Dola. I love any bio that uses "Faster Pussycat" and "fame" in a connected manner.

Though we will not be posting an official rules thread, it has been determined that Ricks, Rikis, Riks, Rickis, Rickeys and Rickys are all eligible for competition. Riches, Dicks and Richards are not eligible. Neither are Ricardos, which pains me greatly (KAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Fictional characters (I'm looking at YOU, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Ricky Ricardo) need not apply.

I chose the other guy, since Rick Dees is a pale imitation of Casey Kasem.

If the criteria is who is the most annoying DJ, Rick Dees has to win hands down. If you're voting on who you hate the least, it's the other dude. I will have to think on this one.

WHO IS THE BETTER RICK?

Interpret that how you will.

Right. I just have to figure out what my criteria is. :)

There's also "Better known" and I don't even know who the other dude is. But. I hate Rick Dees.

Headbangers Ball vs. Disco Duck....Rachtman without a doubt
